Falconry Experience at the Broadmoor. - The Beginning Falconry Class was amazing. We learned so much about falcons, hawks, and owls and the instructor was outstanding. To be able to see the falcon actually in "action" in the wilderness was very cool... and being able to hold a falcon was the icing on the cake. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Colorado Springs.

Be sure to see the Falcons! - Great experience for the whole family. We got to see the birds up close and even touch a few. The guide was welcoming and informative. Great experience for anyone 4 to 104.

Highly Recommend Falconry Class - The experience is very educational. Everyone involved is friendly and professional. They introduce you to several different birds, explain their differences & their individual hunting styles. They also assist you in getting pictures to document your visit. Deanna & Nicole are a great team & I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves birds or is looking for a unique experience during their stay in Colorado Springs. I may have to come back to take the advanced class!

Do it - it was a thrilling experience - The beginner/intermediate combo falconry class was our birthday present to ourselves and I am not sure how future birthdays will top this. We had an absolutely amazing experience with Roger, Gabe and the falcons and owls. We got more hands-on time than I expected and learned much more than I thought we would. I would highly recommend this experience if you're in Colorado Springs.

Fantastic falconry - We had a wonderful time meeting and flying the birds with Deanna! She is smart, friendly, easy to chat with, and great with the birds. The whole morning was terrific; we love getting to see all the raptors, and our hawk, Maverick, was a wonderful ambassador. Great pictures and great memories.

We absolutely loved the beginning falconry class! - My parents and I (all adults) recently took the beginning falconry class. This was my big wish for our trip. I blame it on growing up reading the My Side of the Mountain series.
The class was fabulous - everything I could have hoped for. I had watched lots of YouTube videos doing research for our trip and it was lovely to meet all the birds. We learned a lot, saw some hunting demonstrations, and took a short "hawk walk" where everyone got pictures with Phoenix and later took pictures holding another bird.
Some things you should know - the Broadmoor offers a military discount, but you specifically have to ask for it. The outdoor adventures meetup area has handicap parking, but no bathroom. You have to walk across the street to access the nearest bathroom. Might be best to just go before you arrive. Most areas have seating if you need it, but if you are a little unsteady I found trekking poles to be terrific for the hawk walk. No non-paying guests are allowed to attend with a participant to take photos. However, aside from the falconer, a helper will be there for the class and she takes great photos. Thank you Delaney for walking with me, sharing your knowledge, and taking pictures to share!
I know its an expensive class, but the value is outstanding. I would take the intermediate class in a heartbeat if I lived nearby.

Outstanding adventure! - It was an outstanding experience participating with the Head falconer and her gorgeous birds!! We not only got to receive lots of education about the birds we got to feed them and see them in flight! We visit the Broadmoor hotel frequently and will do the falcon experience every single time we come…. It is definitely the highlight of the trip…

A definite highlight of our time in Colorado Springs! - We got exactly what we had hoped for when we signed up for the falconry beginner + advanced course and perhaps a touch more. I'd say this was equal parts education and activity. Like other premium nature experiences, this came with a pretty hefty price tag but it was still probably worth it especially if it's your first time.
Deanna was our guide and was very accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate for her animals. You could tell the beginning of the course was a bit rudimentary but things picked up afterwards and that's when those dues start to pay off.
Overall, if you're new to falconry, this is a great experience and I would certainly recommend it.

Birds of Prey - A fantastic learning experience at Broadmoor. - I signed up for both the beginner and intermediate sessions. Deanna conducted the sessions with travel assistance from Delany. Deanna explained the history of falconry with added insights on the birds of prey that were resident at the falconry location in Broadmoor.
The best part was seeing the different owls, hawks, and peregrine falcons respond in flight, zero in, and land properly in the handler's hand. What a great experience! Thank you, Deanna!!
